variable stored in Excel - read only from VBA
I thought I read that there was a way to store data in an xls file - this data was only readable from within VBA. The data was stored and retrieved via key-value pair.
For example: "totalOpened", 356 I can't find the documentation on this now. Did I imagine this? Bob Mooney |

Sounds like you are talking about a collection or a dictionary object (from
the scripting runtime I believe). However, neither are stored in a workbook as persistent data. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Robert Mooney" <Robert wrote in message ...

Sounds like you are talking about the hidden name space that Laurent Longre
explains on Chip Pearon's site. http://www.cpearson.com/excel/hidden.htm -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Robert Mooney" wrote in message ... Your post triggered a new thought. I can store persistent data through CustomDocumentProperties. This will work for the time being. But this data is accessible through the normal Excel macros. I still remember reading of a way to store variables that could only be read from VBA.

Bob,
Maybe this is what you were thinking/confusing? GetSetting SaveSetting These functions will get and save key-value pairs to a special VBA section of the Registry. The information is not stored in an Excel file but can be retrieved via VBA code. Troy "Robert Mooney" <Robert wrote in message ...
